Cross Country Skate & Classic Camp at White Pass
Dec 12, 13 & 14, 2008.
February or March 2009. Dates to be determined.
With this camp, we bring the unique
Snowperformance functional movement approach to both Skate
and Classic technique. As with our Alpine and Tele
offerings, the XC program provides innovative, cutting-edge
instruction of the most efficient skiing movements. And
while the techniques we’ll use are World Cup race inspired,
this is not a race camp. Rather, it’s for the skier who
wants to Skate and Classic smoothly, in all terrain, while
expending the least effort for the greatest power output.
We’ll use plenty of video analysis,
lots of mileage, and we will work on all aspects of the
movements of XC. Certainly we’ll cover technique – V1, V2,
V2 Alternate, and Diagonal in Skate, and Diagonal Stride and
Kick Double Pole in Classic – but more importantly we’ll
build from the basics that are already contained in your
existing movements. For those who have gravity-assisted ski
backgrounds, we will also show how the same skills you use
in your downhill skiing – be it on Alpine or Telemark gear –
are common to XC, as well.
The days will be broken into two
sessions, each dedicated to either Skate or Stride. For
those who want, we’ll get into the ins and outs of waxing,
of training for competition, and terrain tactics.
NOTE: we plan to stay at the
Best Western in Packwood, WA for the camp. Cost of lodging
is not included in the camp fee. For more lodging
information, contact Stuart Craig, swc@synergywork.com.
